CHAPTER 12: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 43
Shore Power
FIRE, EXPLOSION & SHOCK HAZARD!
•
DO NOT alter shore power connectors and use only compatible connectors.
•
Before plugging in or unplugging the shore power cord to your boat, make sure all breakers
and switches on the AC master panel are turned OFF.
•
To prevent shock or injury from an accidental dropping of the “hot” cord into the water,
ALWAYS plug the shore power cord to the boat inlet first; then to the dockside outlet. When
unplugging from shore power, unplug the shore power cord from the dockside outlet first.
•
NEVER leave a shore power cord plugged in to the dockside outlet only.
•
Only use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary indoor or out-
door extension cords that are not rated for marine use.

SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.
•
If a red reversed polarity light turns on when you are connecting to shore power, DO NOT
turn on the main breaker switches.
•
Instead, IMMEDIATELY unplug the shore power cord (ALWAYS from the dockside outlet
first) and alert marina management.

SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
Periodically check the shore power cord(s) for deterioration or damage.
•
NEVER use damaged or faulty cords since the danger of fire and electrical shock exists.
•
DO NOT pinch shore power cords in doors or hatches, or coil the shore power cord too
tightly since these situations can generate enough heat to result in a fire.
•
If a shore power cord accidently becomes immersed in water, THOROUGHLY dry the
blades and contact slots before reusing.
